Volunteer Coder for a Very Small Project

Hey and thanks for reading this - I just need someones help in a little project I am working on and I need someone to code something in whatever language is the best for this or which ever you feel happy using.

I want the final thing to do is the following:

1) be able to save inputs to a file to restore later
2) of course be able to open a saved file and edit it (add more names)
3) it must ALLOW duplicates i.e. if i enter Burrows and then be able to enter Burrows again and be stored as a seperate input
4) be able to select one of the inputs at random (so I dont know if you will have to give each input a number for this etc)

The type of input that will be stored in this is either a persons name and/or email address - I would like it to be able to store them both but be optional.

If you have any questions please either post here or PM me for more information.

Thanks to anyone that is willing to help.

Dy

I dont know why point 4 makes you think this is not legit and why would this make it non legit anyway?

Also this is not for anything related to education - college course work etc this is just for my own personal use only nothing else.

So will anyone help?

Re: Volunteer Coder for a Very Small Project

Seems very simple to do... why not try it yourself?

If you are looking for a web based application, PHP and MySQL would get you what you need in no time...

Re: Volunteer Coder for a Very Small Project

Sadly I dont know much about programming - if you could point me in the direction of what you are saying - links to some guides or something like that then I will of course try it myself but I may not get far with it, but I can try.

Re: Volunteer Coder for a Very Small Project

PHP (php.net) is a programming language... MySQL (mysql.com) is a database. You can use PHP to write the names/addresses to a database table and also use it to display/update/delete your records. That is, if you wanted it web-based. Otherwise, go with a language such as Python (python.org) and write them out to a file, etc.

Re: Volunteer Coder for a Very Small Project

Thanks for the info there buddy I dont want it web based really but if that would be easier then that might have to be the way I do it.

I will try that Python you said though but I do want this program to have a nice GUI.

Re: Volunteer Coder for a Very Small Project

Python is a good way to go then. Easy to learn and you can certainly create a standalone app that has a GUI with it... so no worries there.
